01x02 - Downfall

[bunniefuu]

Blood pressure, 120 over 80; pulse, 92.

I will now remove the b*llet.

I have removed the b*llet.

The removal is complete.

It's a little early to be relieved;

we must still reinforce the walls of the damaged blood vessel.

What? Uh-huh...

Get the proline ready.

Yes, sir.

Episode 2: Downfall

Blood pressure, 128 over 72; pulse, 88.

Seems the anaesthesia is still working.

Do your best...

Do your best to survive...

Oh... Dr. Boyer...

Looks like yours went well.

Yes. The surgery did...

The mayor d*ed.

I-Is that so? That's a shame...

Humph! You act as though it's none of your concern.

What?!

You're the very one who abandoned our team

just before surgery.

Oh... but, that child was brought in before the mayor...

What does it matter, who was first?

The problem is, because you selfishly pulled out of our team,

we were forced to try to fill the vacuum you created!

B-But... Listen to me! I...

You upset the teamwork.

By order of the Director,

I instructed you to perform the surgery...

on the mayor.

But you... You ignored me!

B-but, Chief, at that time...

The success of a surgery depends upon trust

among the entire staff.

But you made a grand stand play!

I have already reported this to the Director.

He greatly regrets this incident,

which has lowered the prestige of this hospital.

Prepare yourself!

Uh, sir...

Please wait a minute!!

Dr. Tenma...

At present, that child's blood pressure is 114 over 82; pulse, 84.

His vitals are very stable.

I see... That's good...

Um... That operation... It was wonderful.

{i1}Mayor Roddecker, who collapsed while on holiday,{i0}

{i1}has passed away at the hospital.{i0}

{i1}Upon hearing this unexpected news,{i0}

{i1}people have been arriving at the Mayor's office{i0}

{i1}with bouquets of flowers,{i0}

{i1}many reminiscing on the life of the Mayor.{i0}

{i1}A press conference has just been held at Eisler Memorial Hospital{i0}

{i1}where the Mayor was taken.{i0}

{i1}The cause of Mayor Roddecker's death{i0}

{i1}was due to a cerebral infarction stemming from{i0}

{i1}a severe emphraxis of the inner carotid artery.{i0}

We did everything we could for him, but it caused severe brain swelling,

which resulted in this unfortunate outcome.

{i1}As for naming a successor, a city official explained that{i0}

{i1}concrete steps will be taken{i0}

{i1}- as soon as possible. {i0}- I've got to get some sleep.

{i1}In the case of the m*rder of Mr. and Mrs. Liebert late last night...{i0}

{i1}Judging from the signs of a search in the rooms,{i0}

{i1}police believe this may have been a robbery...{i0}

{i1}or perhaps the act of a political t*rror1st{i0}

{i1}against this couple who had fled here from their country.{i0}

{i1}A two-pronged investigation is under way.{i0}

{i1}Of this couple's twin children, the son,{i0}

{i1}who received a g*nsh*t wound to the head{i0}

{i1}underwent successful surgery, but...{i0}

{i1}has still to regain consciousness. He is listed in critical condition.{i0}

{i1} Now for the weather...{i0}

{i1}The whole country is{i0}

{i1}- in for clear weather... {i0}- That boy...

I wonder what will happen to him.

I'm just like him...

Mr. Reinhardt in ICU is complaining that

she just can't sleep...

Can't we give her something to help her sleep?

Dr. Tenma, are you listening to me?

What?

O-Oh... in that case, give her one Halcyon tablet.

That man! He's been unfocused all day long.

Yo!

Dr. Becker!

Seems you've had a trying time.

Has the Director handed down his judgment?

What?

I warned you, didn't I?

I told you the hospital is ruled by politics.

If you played your cards right,

your future would have been smooth sailing.

Well... I guess this means you and I are in the same boat now.

Now don't be so depressed.

You'll get a chance to redeem your reputation.

Let's go have some drinks. It'll cheer you up.

Uh, excuse me!

I still need to get a statement from the girl twin...

I can't discuss that with you now, Detective!

What?!

That girl is gone from her room!

What?!

That girl is always slipping out of her room

and wandering through the hospital!

What?!

...him...

k*ll...

k*ll him...

And so...

Eisler Memorial Hospital has proven to be

the nation's leading medical facility.

That is first and foremost,

the result of our being blessed with

such excellent personnel such as you all.

I am sincerely grateful.

Yesterday...

unfortunately, the Mayor d*ed here in this hospital.

But, as always, we had done our utmost to save him.

The public's evaluation of this hospital has not changed one bit.

Let's have a round of applause for Dr. Boyer and Dr. Eisen,

who strived to the end to save the Mayor's life.

I looked at your paper.

I hope you will continue to work on your research.

Director Heinemann!

Uh... I must apologise for my actions...

Now now... What's done is done. Director?!

You did what you thought you should. Let's leave it at that.

Director...

And now...

let's have a word from the Head of Neurosurgery!

Pardon me... I'm being called up.

It's not you.

What?

Here's the newly appointed...

Dr. Boyer, please... Please come this way.

Sir, what is the meaning of this?

If you wish to remain at this hospital, you may do so,

but you'd better give up the idea of rising any further as a doctor.

That would be impossible for someone with a flawed character

such as yours.

I'll recognise your skill as a surgeon, but that is all.

You should also give up any ideas of

presenting any papers at future conferences.

B-But, sir... Please listen to me.

Even if you wish to move to another hospital,

I have no intention of writing you a recommendation.

This means it's no use for you to have any ambition.

You may consider your path to becoming

the doctor you envisioned closed.

Surgery requires teamwork.

Only with the help of each and every one of you

can a life be saved.

Eva...

Eva, won't you talk to your father for me?

I haven't done anything wrong!

I just operated on an emergency case

in the order in which he was brought in!

That's... your engagement ring.

You're such a fool...

What?

Eva!!

Why, Dr. Norden, don't you look elegant?

As do you! You're more beautiful than ever tonight, Eva.

What a laugh, isn't it?

After coming across Director Heinemann's paper,

I came here to Germany, and he made me what I am today...

ow that I think about it,

I suppose that paper that I was so impressed by

was probably written for him by someone somewhere...

I knew that he was using me...

but I believed, when I reached a certain position,

I would be able to work on research of my choice to my heart's content.

{i1}We are scholars, first and foremost. Isn't that right?{i0}

That's not right! Saving people's lives is what's most important to a doctor!!

{i1}After all, people's lives aren't created equal.{i0}

You're wrong!

There is no distinction between people's lives!

I am not wrong!

You say there's a flaw in my character?

What about you?!

You call yourself a doctor; but you're just money hungry!

That man... That man...

He's better off dead!

I have you to thank...

You opened my eyes, as a doctor...

You must do your best to live.

I threw everything away in order to operate on you...

That's how far I went in order to bring you back to life.

You know your name, don't you?

Your name is Anna Liebert, isn't that right?

I told you, didn't I, Detective? It's too soon.

Can't anything be done, Doctor?

After all, she saw her parents sh*t to death before her very eyes.

She has no physical wounds,

but extreme trauma seems to have brought on amnesia.

Could you please refrain from

trying to get a statement from her for a while?

This is a difficult case, you see...

The victim was an East German diplomat.

If we don't solve this quickly, the BKA will come.

Those guys always come

and steal the thunder from us state police!

I haven't got the time to take it slow.

Oh... What if we do this? We let her see her brother.

She'll be relieved to see him and her memory might return.

I cannot agree on such a gamble- one suggested by an amateur, at that!

Besides, Dr. Tenma will probably not permit it.

Tenma?

He's the doctor in charge of her brother Johan.

Tsk... What the heck am I supposed to do?!

Well, Dr. Tenma...

You seem to be in a daze. You look awfully tired.

I've been so busy with emergency surgeries.

They've been working you to the bone...

ever since you were demoted from Chief.

I don't mind. It actually makes me feel better.

Hey, now... Are you all right?

I'm sorry, I've just been paged.

You're so tired, but you still have work to do?

The more diligent you are, the worse it'll be for you!

Look at this, Director Heinemann...

See all the gifts and letters of encouragement.

There are mountains of them in his sister's room, too.

After losing their parents these two only have each other.

The mass media keeps reporting on their heartbreaking plight,

and this is the result.

As far as this hospital is concerned, they're nothing but an inconvenience;

what with no sign of anyone paying their medical expenses.

Now, now...

So their story is a pitiful one- that's just fine.

What?

That means this hospital is garnering attention.

For that reason alone, these children are valuable...

Don't you see?

Uh, yes...

Why don't we do this?

We'll give the media a photo of the siblings together.

Yes, the media keeps asking for something like that.

Do it. It'll be a picture of the orphaned siblings

trying their best to live within the warm-hearted care

of our hospital's staff.

But the boy's doctor says it is still too early

to allow them to see each other.

Who's on his case?

It's Dr. Tenma.

Dismiss him.

What?

There is no need to give that man a position that gets so much attention.

Take Dr. Tenma off the case.

Yes, sir!

This is a heart-warming gift from the citizens.

Why don't you have one?

Thank you.

How do you feel, Mrs. Hankel?

Thanks to you, I feel quite well.

Your stitches will be removed soon,

so it won't be long until you're released.

I'll be able to go home?

Yes, but as I said, you must rest.

Of course, I will.

Give Mrs. Hankel regular doses

of an anticonvulsant and a hypotensive.

Wake up, Anna!

W-What are you doing?

Dr. Tenma!

They let her see her brother. Then she gave a loud scream and...

Why did you bring them together?!

Dr. Tenma...

Take her back to her room, quickly!

Yes, sir!

Dr. Boyer, what is the meaning of this? Why the camera?

Oh... We're going to give the media

a picture of the emotional meeting of the two children.

Who allowed you to do such a thing? I am the boy's doctor.

You have been dismissed as Johan's doctor.

What?!

As of today, he is my patient.

I decided that it would be fine to let them see each other.

Those children...

Don't make those children fodder for the media!

We did it by order of the Director.

I think it would be best for you not to fight it.

I'm the one who saved this boy!

I have a duty to protect him until he is completely healed!

If that's the case, take a look at the boy's reaction!

As soon as he saw his sister, he extended his hand and cried tears.

He regained consciousness and showed a normal reaction.

That means the surgery was a great success.

Good job. Your work is done now.

Get back to where you belong.

Enough... Don't make me laugh!

Who cares what the Director says?

Who cares what the Chief says?

They're all money and power hungry!

Curse them!

I... I am not wrong...

I'm home, Father...

Father? Are you in your room?

Chief? Are you still in a meeting at this hour?

Father, are you asleep?

I'm coming in.

That man... He's better off dead...
